Thanks again for doing these kinds of videos.
No worries, I enjoy digging around for them.
Wonderful. Thanks for this list!
You are more than welcome.
I absolutely love this series you have started. I’d already downloaded some of these but I am really appreciating your spadework on these 😊
Thanks Debs, I think I may have to put my money where my mouth is and read all these at some point…
Well, the Fran Striker Lone Ranger is one of the books I'm currently reading. And I am enjoying it so far. Westerns is a genre I was never into, but I may give some of these a try. Thanks for the suggestions.
You’re welcome, I think a fair few of us are discovering Westerns through June in the Range..
Great to see you’ve found some female writers as well.
There are a fair few in the earlier years, it’s been a little bit of an eye-opener..
I just had to check: Puccini's "La fanciulla del West" -- The Girl of the Golden West -- was based on Belasco's play version of 1905. I also didn't realize that Madama Butterfly was also based on a one-act Belasco play, which was based on a short story by John Luther Long.
Just a case of one rabbit hole leading to another rabbit hole...
It’s very strange, quite a few of the books I do a video on had an opera version at some point. Thank god cinema got invented..
